hailea chiller project

LOL

DD Case is a much better investment than Disneyland.

My Dad has recently moved to Texas so I may look into getting a case sent to his house...

:eek:
 
done a few more mods over the last few days, decided to change my 8gb vengeance ram for 16gb dominator kit.

i thought about the new crucial ballistix tracer stuff with the green red leds but something wasnt sitting right with me, in my head i knew i wanted corsair dominator but for my case i also wanted leds.
so i decided to google corsair led and found the airflow pro for dominator modules (newer type) for £40 i thought it was worth a punt as i already had a airflow 2 corsair fan that i wasnt using from another build...... i have made a quick vid hear so you can see what its like in my case.

this is the memory activity running IBT

the four centre leds are the temp which go red if hot and green if cool the rest of the leds are activity indicators....in my case i think it looks awesome.
in the vid you cant see the temp sensors in any detail because of the reflections which is a bit of a bummer, once fitted the airflow pro was hitting one of my tubes coming out the cpu so i had to re route it slightly to look right again, this involved using a bitspower 45 deg fitting luckly that i had which sorted it right out.

im still looking for a blu ray drive that has a decent finish on all sides also so if anyone has an idea feel free to shout, when i drained the loop to re route the tube i cut in the koolance splitters that i got from mike gunz on the MM and can i just say that they are perfect, fantastic build quality and they just work like they as supposed to, with the loop under pressure you can split it without losing a drop of fluid...pics to follow.

thats it just now but please let me know what you think? :)
 
Hi I'm always looking for the next big hole in my pocket and this might be it,, Having done phase cooling before the biggest problem I had with it was the amount of heat coming out of the phase unit and heating the room up big time.
So wondering what amount of heat does the water chilling unit pump out into the air.
My current setup is pumping lots of warm air into the room and is just to hot, so looking to do something different.

Sorry for the long post.

Regards,

Martin

hey martin
i have mine under the floor of my house so im not fully sure how much heat its blowing out...i dont think its to bad but what there is you could use it to your advantage by warming your livingroom :)
these are ideal if you can hide them away somewere like in a cupboard or spare room or under a floor...i cant even really hear mine its quality.

Are they easy to source and what sort of price would I be looking at for one?

i was busy reading your thread whilst you were posting on mine :)
ocuk stock them phil or can get them anyway think there £430 ....i got mine for £186 brand spanking from that well know auction place, just keep you eye out there as there bargans to be had.
 
How is best to set it up? I was wondering about the condensation point which would be a big concern but it seems like your not having any issues with it?
Do you think it would be able to handle two loops or would that be not possible?

Its definitely been something I was interested in looking at and trying...

condensation wise if you set it so there is 10c max between what your ambient temps and what the chiller is you will be fine and get no condensation....so if your room is 22c then set the chiller to 12c, very easy to do from the front of the unit its self and it can go down to 4c :eek:
mine is currently set at 12c as a couple of days ago we turned the heating up alittle and i started to get the first signs of condensation so i moved it to 12c from 10c that i had it previous now its fine again.
it would handle two loops no problem and you could have saved a packet on all your rads and fans you have or at least broke even on it if you had bought one of these.....i have a single wide tower 21 and yours are double 21's ? and i can get everything in the single with an external chiller.
 
I must admit I didnt think about doing it until seeing the temps for the overclocking that I have managed but I'm sure interested in doing something, maybe as a test to start with if I can find something cheap enough.

If it could handle two loops then the CPU and GPU's would be very comfortable cooling it? At the moment I would be considering a i7 @ 4.4Ghz (at least) and three 3Gb 580 GTX's..

I do have double 21's as you mentioned so do you think it would be possible to get everything cooled to a decent level with little noise?

yes it would cool all that way better than any radiator ever could....if you had silent fans just to waft the air over the mobo your machine would be near silent but the chiller makes noise like a fridge thats why if you could put it elsewere from the room your in it would be best....

my 6990 is at 15c just now
if i lagged all my pipes and set chiller to 4c i recon i could get that 6990 to 8c or so
 
Well I have a water block on the motherboard, so I could use leave the triple rad that's cooling it on its own, so there might be enough air flow to keep the air moving over it. I could hide it under the desk but just depends on what it would sounds like running.

At the moment I have a quad rad for both rigs for CPU and GPU. The triples just work for the motherboard cooling.

As for noise at the moment its really not bad, even with the fans set to around 70% to 80% its really not that noisy. If I had the GPU's under water as well, I expect it would make things a bit quieter...

With a chiller there is no point whatsoever keeping any rads. You have the capability to cool the fluid down over the southbridge and MOSFET blocks way lower, I know you have just bought them and it possibly feels like your wasting money with the rad but you will get far better results without it
 
boys and their toys :P
seriously tho all houses should come with these, maybe then we can get rid of crazy loud fans for good
